DAMNIT!!
Every time I start a plant it starts off great. I sucessfully germinate it and as soon as the vegetative state hits week 2 then everything goes to shit, and I mean SHIT!
Ok here is my situation. I am growing hydroponics. I use the basic General Hydroponics line of nutrients, Grodan woolrock, and a standing bubbler setup in a 3 gallon bucket. I have 4 45 watt compact flourecent bulbs that emit 2600 lumens each. The Ph is stable at about 6.1. I have air circulating in the room.
I can get past the germination phase. However once I am past the germination phase I can't do anything. This has happened to me over 7 times in a row and I can't get a good diagnosis.
This is what my most recent failure looked like. (http://www.overgrow.com/edge/gallery/3676/Potassium-Defiency1.jpg) Other times it has looked like other deficiencies.
I have the Indoor Bible by Jorge Cervantes. I have been reading and reading and reading and I can't find anything that I am doing wrong. My setup seems decent and everything seems to be going great.
This most recent failure happened like this: I come home from work I go look in my grow room. My plant is in the second week of the vegetation phase with about a total of 4 full grown leaves, but it has these brown spots developing on the inside part of the leaves. I immediately run and changed out my hydroponic solution adding more nutrients to compensate for the deficiency. I have everything all done and setup. I leave for school and I AM NOT KIDDING YOU, 2 hours late I came back home and looked at my plant again. IT WAS ALMOST COMPLETELY YELLOW!! WITHIN TWO HOURS!!! WHAT THE F*-**!!!
Has this happened to anyone else? Am I just cursed at growing?!?!? What is the big deal here???? I have grown other kinds of plants and I have never ever had this problem!
Should I just go back to soil growing or something? What should I do?!?!
